Rotator Genius + Yaesu GS-2800 Setup (Wiring, Sensor & Mistakes)

Post author By admin

Rotator Genius + Yaesu GS-2800 Setup (Wiring, Sensor & Mistakes)

Today I get the Yaesu GS-2800 and G-450 rotators working with the Rotator Genius for remote, network control.

This turned into a bit of a saga… but we got there in the end.

In this video I cover:

– How Rotator Genius actually drives DC rotators (2-wire vs 3-wire confusion)
– Correct wiring for GS-2800 and G-450 (pins and setup)
– Bench testing before going up the tower
– Magnetic sensor install and alignment
– Dip switch settings (and how the manual can trip you up)
– Speed control and voltage considerations
– Getting two rotators working on one system

The goal here is simple: allow multiple stations to control different towers over the network without conflict.

This wasn’t a plug-and-play job – it took a few days of checking and thinking of trial and error to get right. If you’re setting up Rotator Genius, this should save you a fair bit of time!

00:00 Overview and plan
02:19 Wiring breakthrough (2-wire control)
03:10 Dip switch issues
05:32 Adding second rotator (G-450)
10:27 Field testing
11:47 Sensor install
14:23 Software control and presets
16:15 Final thoughts

Calsun's 200W Bifacial Solar Panel… GAME CHANGER for Off-Grid?

The Calsun 200 watt bifacial solar panel is a powerful upgrade for off-grid setups, designed to capture sunlight from both the front and reflected light from the back for increased efficiency. Whether mounted on a trailer or used in a portable setup, it delivers reliable power in a variety of conditions—making it a great option for camping, overlanding, or emergency backup. In this video, I put it to the test and show how it performs in a real-world campsite.

Wait… That’s 100Ah?!

Wait… That’s 100Ah?!

Can a battery this small REALLY deliver 100Ah? In this video I test the Redodo Ultra Mini 12.8V 100Ah LiFePO4 battery with a full charge → full discharge capacity test to see if it actually delivers its rated performance. I also show the Bluetooth monitoring feature and compare the size to a traditional Group 31 battery so you can see just how compact this new Group 22NF form factor really is.

These ultra-compact lithium batteries could be interesting for RV electrical systems, solar setups, portable power, and ham radio stations where space matters. Full test results in the video.
